2023 Cadillac Lyriq First Drive: A Big Format EV at a, Yes, Small Price

Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq.

Park City, Utah - Cadillac is reaching a major milestone in its history with the launch of its first all-electric vehicle. And in the first bit of good news for the luxury carmaker, the sculptural beauty of the 2023 Lyriq drew many compliments during our visit to Utah. That ran the gamut, from 9-year-old Jocelyne who really loved the panoramic roof to the golden-age lady who couldn't believe that this beautiful SUV is no more expensive than her Mustang Mach-e.

It's the harmony in the styling that gives this crossover its charm. There's a certain nobility in the restraint that informs that styling. For one thing, the only option in the design is the set of 22-inch wheels (yours for around $2,000). The product offering reflects the vehicle's silhouette, which is simple, clean and graceful. The grille-less front end with its vertical headlights defines the style to come in future electric Caddys. This illuminated front end (which also includes an illuminated Cadillac logo) rivals Tesla in the light-and-sound show category.

All this for a price that starts at $70,000.
